Bluey Posted 13, February 2013 Report Share Posted 13, February 2013 Salut! After being introduced to the wonderful world of Renaults by a friend and fellow Renault enthusiast, I am now on the hunt for a little runabout 172 as a daily. I've always been about the Aussie classics - owner of a restored 1962 Ford XK Falcon Wagon. Now that I'm in the market for a daily, I couldn't go past the 172 (preaching to the converted here I guess ) I'll see you guys around as I trawl through the threads. Cheers!

vermillion_fire Posted 14, February 2013 Report Share Posted 14, February 2013 Welcome fellow newbie. Nothing wrong with sharing the love between classic Aussie and modern french. My garage has both a Megane 225 cup and a fully restored 1971 XY Falcon sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob 240 Posted 14, February 2013 Report Share Posted 14, February 2013 funny you mention that moosey , well actually its not funny at all ! i specified aus NOT nip . there are no classic asian cars and never will be . you cant make classics out of white goods . my big brother had an R8 and went to watch bathurst when it was a real race between real cars ... back then that coroll* was the new thing . after the race finished , the track was always left open and everyone hopped in their cars and went flying round flat out . bro still tells the tale about some try hard in a new cor*lla being left behind on the corners , under brakes [ they had 4 drums the diameter of coke cans v renault 4 wheels discs and the rolla steering was connected to the front end with sushi ] and everywhere except up the hill . they still havent been able to polish that turd .

R182 Posted 14, February 2013 Report Share Posted 14, February 2013 after the race finished , the track was always left open and everyone hopped in their cars and went flying round flat out . LOL ... way to lift attendance rates. Should do that at Albert Park ... we'll never lose the GP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphyjayne Posted 15, February 2013 Report Share Posted 15, February 2013 Welcome! Hopefully you find one soon. HEY! There is nothing wrong with an old Rolla! I still have my (almost) restored KE20 kicking around in my garage! Yes, I admit it may not have been as advance as some of the Euro cars of it's time, but it is wayyyyy more fun than the fridges that drive around these days.
